[QUOTE="m0deth, post: 256640, member: 28342"] Is there any way to replace the busy "movie action shot" backgrounds with something a little less busy, I find the interface to be quite cool actually, but seeing jessica alba on start everyday, while she is hot, is going to get boring and dated quickly. If I could just rename the images and drop new ones in for those I wish to replace, that would be stellar.
